"Hand out the curlers!"
The killing of the chicken to scare the monkey is over, and the assessment officially begins.
The next moment, several city guards came in carrying large boxes, which were full of papers... no, books!
What a thick book!
The young instructor of the Daxia War Academy smiled faintly and said, "This is the essay! There are 660 sets of exam papers in total. Each set may be the same or different. Everyone can take it and write it yourself. The War Academy will count a maximum of 100 points for language. In other words, if you pass 10 language courses, you will get full marks."
"Of course, you can write more. Each test paper may have dozens of courses. You can fill it up and try your luck. Maybe you can get 10 out of dozens of courses right and get full marks! Of course, there are 10 questions in each course, and you will pass if you get 6 questions right!"
In the examination room, no one dared to say a word because of the killing of a chicken to scare the monkeys.
After a while, a candidate raised his hand.
The young man said calmly: "Speak."
"Teacher, if the test paper I get is all in the language of the Ten Thousand Races that I don't know, can I exchange it with someone else?"
"Make your own decision. Violations will lead to disqualification!"
"… "
Below, Su Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. It was indeed a different pattern every year. Last year's test papers were the same, except that the test papers of hundreds of ethnic languages were shuffled and mixed up, allowing you to find them yourself. This year's test papers were actually different.
The assessment of war academies sometimes does not simply assess military strength and cultural courses; the same is true for civilization academies.
Su Yu actually didn't quite understand what the assessment was about.
Different test papers, different language test papers. The language on the test paper you get may not be the one you know. The language of all races that you know may be on another person's test paper.
At this moment, what should you choose
Soon, Su Yu got a thick test paper, flipped through it casually, and found some differences.
The three basic language courses, namely the language of immortals and demons, the common language, and the language of the demon race, are at the very beginning. Basically everyone knows them and has learned them, but the papers at the back are language tests for different races.
Su Yu quickly turned the pages and scanned through them. He mastered 20 languages in total, and he had learned two more in the past two months. However, with the three basic courses included in this set of papers, he only found a total of 9 languages that he had learned.
"90 points?"
Su Yu hesitated for a moment. Even if he passed all the exams, he could only get 90 points in the academic subjects, not 100 points.
Of course, a difference of 10 points may not be a big deal for him, but for others, 10 points less may affect whether they can pass the assessment.
Su Yu was looking at the test paper. Other students were also looking at it, but some of them were not in a hurry. They only knew three subjects, so they just focused on writing.
As for the thick test paper at the back...what does it have to do with them!
I don’t know how to do it anyway, and I can’t understand it even if I look at it, so I just pretend that the rest of the test paper doesn’t exist.
Can I change the test paper
Su Yu didn't know, but it was unfair for the War Academy to give such a test paper to some top students. Does that mean they can change it
Su Yu cast his gaze towards the examiners in front of him. They all had blank expressions on their faces and it was hard to tell what was going on.
Most of the students have started writing.
Su Yu hesitated for a moment, then made a quick decision. He looked at a boy beside him who was also looking at his papers, and quickly asked, "Want to change papers?"
The man was obviously from outside, and didn't care who Su Yu was at the moment. Hearing this, he quickly asked, "Are there any scrolls from the Flying Tiger, Sandshrew, Nine-tailed Fox... these tribes?"
"I'm not sure. Some of what you said I don't know or understand..."
Su Yu shook his head. There were some things he didn't know, so naturally he didn't recognize them.
There are so many languages among all races, who knows which writing belongs to which race.
The man next to him hesitated for a moment, then immediately said, "Change!"
After that, the two exchanged test papers.
The examiner above watched and no one said anything.
At this point, the others no longer hesitated, and some students who were proficient in more languages began to exchange papers with others.
Changing the roll does not mean that you get what you want.
Soon, someone found that the exchange was not as good as the previous one, and began to look for someone to replace it. At this time, the young man from the Great Xia War Academy who was invigilating said indifferently: "Write the name, no changes are allowed!"
After these words were spoken, many people's faces changed, and they could only look for other students who had not written yet to continue changing.
The rustling sound lasted for several minutes, and now it was nearly 10 minutes before the exam started.
As for Su Yu, he took a look at the test papers he received and found that he knew fewer languages of various races, only 8.
Su Yu frowned, the more he changed, the less there was!
Still changing
After hesitating for a while, Su Yu gritted his teeth and decided not to change it. 8 kinds are fine!
Su Yu lowered his head and started writing the test paper!
Others also gradually discovered that the language content of the test papers they exchanged for was not as good as before, and some people began to exchange their papers again.
At this moment, Lao Xie suddenly pointed at a student and said coldly: "You may not change the test paper more than three times. The test will start now!"
"teacher… "
The face of this student who had changed the test paper three times changed. In his original test paper, he knew five or six languages, but now he only knew three basic languages. This reduced his score by several dozen points!
"You want to be disqualified?"
The student didn't dare to speak anymore, and began to write the test paper with his head down, feeling frustrated and depressed.
Some students were looking at each other in bewilderment. They could only change three times
…
Invigilation Office.
Old Xie and the other examiners looked at each other and smiled faintly. Old Xie's lips moved slightly, "Xiao Zhou, do you think they will regret changing the paper?"
"Definitely."
The young man also moved his lips slightly, "What we gave them at the beginning was the most suitable for them. Some things may not be perfect. If you pursue perfection in everything, you will lose the sesame seeds while picking up the watermelon. In the end, you will lose more than you gain."
"For students who are very good at these cultural courses, they all started out the same way, and none of them were perfect. They were not the only ones who didn't get full marks. With so many changes, what originally belonged to them was lost."
The young man smiled and quickly added: "The more I change, the more depressed I am. Will these little guys lose their mentality?"
"If you are already mentally broken, then you might as well not come to the War Academy!"
Old Xie was not polite at this moment. This was just a small test. If they couldn't bear it, once they lost on the battlefield, wouldn't these people collapse completely
Then, Old Xie added: "I am now thinking about how to make the test paper next year. I am almost running out of tricks."
"What's the hurry?"
The young man was not in a hurry. He looked at the watch on his wrist and suddenly said, "The cultural course test lasts for one hour! 20 minutes have passed, and the remaining time may not be enough!"
"… "
Below, some students' faces changed completely!
It was a one-hour test, but they took a long time to change the papers.
Find someone to change, and then see if there is anyone who suits you. All this time, it takes at least five or six minutes to change once, and 20 minutes will pass in the blink of an eye!
Su Yu, who was answering the test paper, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It’s such a scam!
Is this still a serious exam
As a result, some top students may be getting anxious because they are running out of time. Some people can’t even find anyone to change their papers, not to mention they don’t have time to do so.
Even if you are fast, it will take you 10 minutes to finish a test paper, and for several courses, it will take you dozens of minutes.
…
Time flies, and an hour is up in the blink of an eye.
"Collect the papers!"
At the command, the city guards came in and began to collect the papers and seal them. Some students looked frustrated, it was too fast!
"I should have known not to change it just now!"
"What bad luck! I mastered 16 languages of all races, but in the end I only completed four exams!"
"Last year, the test was not conducted this way. This year, it is simply a mess. In this case, wouldn't it be a waste for us to learn so many languages of all races?"
"… "
Finally, there were some low voices of discussion in the audience.
It’s such a scam!
Some guys who have mastered multiple languages are simply in tears. Before, they were all sure of success and getting 100 points was not a problem. Now, for some of them, getting 30 or 40 points is considered good.
This was much trickier than they expected.
Su Yu rushed to finish the 8 courses he knew and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not continue to change. If he continued to change, not only would it waste time, but even if he got the courses, he might not be able to finish all 10 courses.
If you change a few times, it would be good enough if you can write three or five papers in the end.
"Fortunately, I have completed all eight papers. Even if I don't get all of them right, I still have a 60% accuracy rate. I hope I can get 80 points."
Su Yu was worried whether the civilized school would come in the afternoon like this.
"Your test papers are being graded. A dedicated person will grade them very quickly! The scores will be announced soon, so don't worry."
Old Xie said with a smile: "The first test is over, and the second test begins!"
"The cultural lessons are over, now it's time for the cultivation assessment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another group of city guards entered the scene. Old Xie said with a smile, "Kai Yuan, open the nine orifices! The mouth, nose, ears, and eyes are the seven basic orifices. Just because you say they are open, it doesn't mean they are really open!"
"The three tests before Kaiyuan begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cup filled with liquid appeared in front of each candidate.
"In the first three levels of Kaiyuan, the mouth and nose are opened. Smelling and tasting are the basics. You can smell it to see if you can drink it. Taste what the liquid is and what is added to it. They are all basic ingredients, including common monster blood, common seasonings at home, and of course... there are also laxatives!"
Old Xie said calmly: "If you smell it wrong and taste it wrong, the next exam will have nothing to do with you because you have to go to the toilet and wait, so try it carefully, then write it down and hand it in. This is the basic assessment for the first three levels!"
"I forgot to mention that there might be some drugs with sleeping effects. If you try them and fall asleep, you will miss the next test."
"… "
One candidate couldn't help but raise his hand. When Old Xie signaled, he hurriedly said, "Teacher, last year's test was not like this. Last year's test had limited answers and only ten options. Isn't there any option to choose from this year? In this case, the range of options is too large!"
"You are not wasting my time, nor just yours, but everyone's!"
Old Xie said calmly: "If you want to take the exam, then take it. If you don't want to take the exam, then shut up! This is how the Daxia Mansion will take the exam this year. You are not the only one. If you are willing to chat with me for a few more words, I don't mind. Anyway, I have plenty of time!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was helpless.
Su Yu was helpless. The content of this year's assessment was very different from last year's. Although the process was similar, the specific process was completely different.
"Try carefully, taste it when you are right, and write down the result. I promise that the result will not be beyond your grasp. You can also try to write it randomly, maybe you can get it right."
Old Xie laughed again and said, "The Kaiyuan Third Layer has no combat power at all. Are you planning to stage a big fight? If so, I don't mind. I will count the last 100 people standing as the ones who have passed the nuclear test. How about that?"
"… "
The whole audience was silent. What a joke! Nowadays, when people fight, it's just a street fight. It's so embarrassing to get beaten up over an exam and be kicked out.
Since Lao Xie said that it would not be beyond the control, everyone would not waste any more time.
Su Yu carefully smelled the liquid in front of him, and made some judgments in his mind, "It seems to smell like fire pig blood..."
He is very sensitive to blood. Different blood has different tastes.
The races are different, and the monsters are good at different things, which are all reflected in their blood.
Su Yu smelled it for a while and didn't feel threatened. He picked up the cup and carefully tasted a little bit. After feeling it, he soon got the answer.
"Pig blood, duck blood, chili sauce, water, butter..."
Su Yu wrote down the answers quickly, and other candidates also began to try. Some were already filling in the answers, while others were still hesitating whether to try it or not, worried that there might be something wrong.
"Spend your time wisely!"
The young examiner spoke again, saying indifferently: "Students who have written down their answers, don't wait for them, go to the back to take the Kaiyuan Level 3 and above exams!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many students stood up quickly.
Su Yu was among them. He was worried that there would be time constraints and he would not have enough time to participate in the assessments of other projects.
It was such a large floor that Su Yu had thought there was only one space, but it turned out there was an assessment venue behind the wall.
Su Yu and the others quickly entered the examination room at the back, followed by Old Xie, the woman from the Education and Strengthening Bureau, and the man from the Demon Suppression Army.
…
In the examination room at the back.
At this moment, more than 30 people came one after another.
These people are all at the third level of Kaiyuan or above. Of course, there are also many guys at the third level of Kaiyuan or above who are still identifying the liquid.
"The fourth and fifth levels of Kaiyuan, open your ears and improve your hearing!"
Old Xie walked to the front with a smile, "You are only Kaiyuan and have not been on the battlefield yet. Daxia Mansion will not make excessive demands on you, but since you have reached the fourth and fifth levels, you still have to meet the basic requirements."
"Listen carefully..."
Old Xie gave a reminder, and everyone hurriedly listened. At this moment, it seemed that someone was talking in the examination room, but it was not clear.
"Now someone is reciting a set of exercises. He will recite it 10 times, 5 minutes each time. After 50 minutes, if the person in front of him hasn't arrived and hasn't heard it, even if he is at the seventh or eighth level of Kaiyuan, this level will not be considered a pass, and he won't be given the 60 points for the fourth or fifth level of Kaiyuan!"
"People who don't know how to distinguish the important from the unimportant, waste time, and can't make reasonable allocations will only become a drag on the battlefield!"
As Old Xie spoke, everyone could vaguely hear the sound.
Someone was indeed reciting something.
Su Yu listened to a few sentences, but he was not very serious. At this time, a girl with braids in the crowd raised her hand. After waiting for Lao Xie to nod, she frowned and said, "Teacher, what if someone knows this technique? He doesn't need to listen at all. Is this considered cheating?"
"Don't worry, no one will."
Old Xie said calmly, "This is a newly seized martial arts book of a small clan. This is the first time that the Great Xia Mansion has obtained this martial arts book. If anyone knows it... then it was taught by the Ten Thousand Clans!"
After that, Old Xie said playfully, "And sometimes the translations may not be the same. If the translation you wrote down is different from the one we recited, but is similar to the one that the small tribe provided to the Ten Thousand Tribes... Hehe, with this process every year, we can catch a lot of spies. I hope none of you will be caught for going to the academy!"
As if he knew what these people were wondering about, Old Xie said, "Are you curious about why I said it out loud? Why not just wait for someone to write it down before arresting him? It's simple. I'll give you a chance. This small tribe has been completely wiped out. If there are really followers of this tribe, they still have a chance to forget the past and start a new life."
Su Yu was too lazy to listen. At this moment, he was listening attentively to the sound.
The sound was very vague, as if it could be heard, but also as if it could not be heard.
If you don't pay attention, it will become blurred.
In this way, if you don't listen carefully, you won't be able to write it down at all.
Su Yu wrote intermittently, too lazy to care about others and had no energy to care about them.
Five minutes later, the first article was finished.
Su Yu looked at what he had written and realized that he had probably memorized about one-third of it. If he continued like this, it would take him at least three or five times to complete it.
There aren't many words, maybe about a thousand.
Su Yu was considered lucky. Many people only had a few words written on the papers in front of them.
I can’t keep up with the speed. I have to listen and write at the same time. It’s too difficult!
Meanwhile, students were coming into the examination room outside. These people came in late and didn't listen to the lessons enough times, so they had no chance of writing them down from memory.
"I can probably memorize it completely after listening to it three or five times, but Haozi... don't fall asleep while listening!"
…
Just when Su Yu was worried about Chen Hao.
Chen Hao was listening too.
He scratched his head. There were quite a few words written on the paper in front of him, but the invigilator next to him took a quick glance and almost couldn't recognize it.
This guy has written a lot, but what on earth is he writing about
Of course, some people are even worse off than Chen Hao. They just wrote a few words sparsely, and they all look depressed at the moment.
In this case, some people may not be able to get this score even if they have reached the fourth or fifth level of Kaiyuan.
"People who only have a state of mind but don't know how to use it... don't need to go to school!"
The invigilator thought to himself that he had opened his ears but didn't know how to use them at all, and couldn't even master the basic hearing skills, so how could he talk about identifying the position by hearing? All these four or five levels were completely meaningless.
The students in secondary institutions study for five years and have learned everything they should learn. Except for the fact that they have no actual combat experience, these people are real fighters.
As a result, a group of soldiers were unable to master even the most basic skills and had little hope of entering the war academy.
While the invigilator was thinking about this, Chen Hao raised his hand and said in a depressed tone, "Teacher, please stop hanging around in front of me! You've done it several times already. Can you please go to the other people's side?"
"… "
The invigilator was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is also a test. Sometimes there will be all kinds of accidents on the battlefield..."
Chen Hao rolled his eyes. "If we were really on the battlefield, I would take out my knife and chop you to death! Teacher, if you walk in front of me again, I will chop you!"
"… "
The invigilator laughed. Not far away, the chief examiner nodded slightly, signaling him to leave Chen Hao's side.
It was certainly inappropriate to keep hanging around in front of a student. The main reason was that Chen Hao's movements were too big and he kept scratching his head, so the invigilator walked around him a few more times.
The invigilator walked to the side, moved his lips, and said in a low voice: "The overall performance of the people from Daxia Prefecture is much stronger than that of Nanyuan! Kaiyuan level 4 and 5 are the basics, while Nanyuan has fewer level 4 and 5 than Daxia Prefecture."
Only more than 400 people from Daxia Prefecture took the assessment, while there were nearly 3,000 people from Nanyuan.
There are still fewer people at the fourth and fifth levels than in the Daxia Mansion.
The examiner was not surprised and whispered, "After all, Nanyuan's vitality is too weak, but... there are also advantages! Nanyuan students progress slowly, and it takes longer to polish each realm. Most of the Kaiyuan fourth level can recite some, but many of the fifth and sixth level guys in Daxia Mansion can't hear clearly."
The examiner shook his head, obviously feeling that these people from the Daxia Mansion were somewhat shameful.
The realm is stronger, but the progress is faster. The time spent at the ear-orifice stage is short, and one has to keep getting stronger. Some guys at the fifth or sixth level may not get as high scores as the fourth or fifth level Nanyuan students.
…
upstairs.
Su Yu had listened to it five times and memorized the technique completely.
There are a few students like him, but not many, less than 10 people in total.
There are 660 students in Examination Room No. 5, but only a handful of them have managed to write out the complete answer so far. The invigilator, Old Xie, seems a little disappointed, but it's not surprising. The only surprise is probably that some students from the fifth and sixth levels of the Daxia Mansion have not been able to write it out yet.
Old Xie didn't care that the other students were still listening, and said, "Those who have memorized it and are willing to take the Kaiyuan fifth level or higher assessment, follow me!"
As soon as these words came out, Su Yu and his companions stood up one after another.
At this moment, some people around him became anxious. Some of them had just come in, but others had already gone to take part in higher-level assessments.
Should I continue to listen here, or take part in the fifth level or above assessment
What if the next round of assessment is delayed again like this time
"Allocate time, energy and strength reasonably..."
The words of the young examiner flashed through some people's minds. Several students gritted their teeth, stopped hesitating, and stood up to take part in the assessments above the fifth level!
Listening test, 60 points.
For some students above level five, it is a difficult choice whether to continue listening here and waste a long time, or to strive for other points.
After listening for a long time, they felt dizzy. If this continued, they might not be able to get any points in the subsequent assessments, and the loss would be too great.
There are seven levels of Kaiyuan. If you pass it, one level will be 50 points, which is an assessment that can improve your hearing.
Old Xie, who was leading the way in front, had a smile on his face.
Making choices is sometimes difficult.
The assessment of higher learning institutions does not simply look at strength and talent, but also includes other aspects.
Decisiveness, judgment, the balance between gains and losses... these all need to be mastered by these young students themselves. If it is just a matter of strength, there is still a need for assessment. It would be better to just compare who has a higher level and win.
Having a high level of cultivation might give you an advantage here, but if you pass the previous levels perfectly, it is not impossible to get admitted to the War Academy at the third level of Kaiyuan.
"Nan Yuan is still a little weak. If there are more students at the fourth and fifth levels, then the people coming from Da Xia Mansion this time may not be as good as Nan Yuan in the end."
While thinking about these things, Old Xie did not forget to pay attention to several top students he had followed before.
Su Yu, this kid, did well in these levels. He made a quick decision after changing the first level. He passed 8 tests and got 80 extra points, which might be the highest score of the whole game.
"I'm looking forward to seeing if this kid's final test score can compare to the geniuses from Daxia Mansion..."
The whole prefecture has a unified assessment, with the same content, process, and score. How many points Su Yu can get has nothing to do with whether he is a Nanyuan student.
Old Xie was really looking forward to the result. On Nanyuan's side, probably only Su Yu had the hope of competing with the geniuses of Daxia Mansion. As for the others... there was no need to compare them. The difference in realm alone was huge, and no matter how solid their basic skills were, there would still be a natural gap.
